Description zeta 2018-01-22 23:16:36 UTC

I binded fullscreen to F11, to enjoy fullscreeness in every program.

Global Shortcuts -> SystemSettings -> Make Window Fullscreen

However, chromium still displays all the toolbars in fullscreen mode, because the F11 shortcut is overriden by KWIN's binding.

I understand this may be the "correct" behavior, but it hurtts usability.

How can we get more fine grained controll over shortcuts? example:

A) exceptions
B) allow triggering of both actions when a global shorcuts conflicts an app's shortcut

This is a bug in Chromium. The window manager tells the window that it has been put to fullscreen. It should adjust to the fullscreen user interface in that case. Please compare to firefox where this works without any problems.
